Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek has not been fit enough to play for Frank Lampard’s side at all this season.
Chelsea fans have been left excited after seeing Ruben Loftus-Cheek back in training on Instagram.
The Chelsea midfielder has been out for the entire campaign so far with a knee injury, but his comeback is getting close now.
Loftus-Cheek posted a video of himself running on social media yesterday.
And Chelsea fans feel that the England international could have a huge role to play for them when he does return to full fitness.
Loftus-Cheek really broke into Chelsea’s team last term, and he proved his quality.
The attacking midfielder showed a keen eye for goal, but also brought power and skill to Chelsea’s team.
With the Blues struggling for form, there is a feeling that Loftus-Cheek’s return could help them break down defences and also add more steel to their midfield ranks.
When he does return Loftus-Cheek will be in competition with the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount and Ross Barkley for a first-team place.
